I dont know where to start talking.

You just did. You told us your friend committed suicide. You told us you witnessed it. Those are big things to start talking about. Well done for making that step.

Okay, ill only be able to share a bit at a time; if you have questions, speak freely.
August 28th 2011 my friend chris shot himself in front of me and our other friend. I came to find out that night that he was bipolar, and was on meth/heroine. I didnt know any of this, it was such a shock; I had no previous knowledge of what kind of condition he was in.

I lost a best friend to suicide almost 5 years ago. I was with her the night she did it, but she said she wanted to go home, so we dropped her off. She later called and said she was coming back over to my house. I fell asleep on the couch waiting for her to arrive, but she never did. She was gone by the morning. It was really hard on me, I can't imagine what it would be like to see it happen. I just want you to know that I can relate....to some extent. Although I think witnessing it would be harder to deal with. But you can do it. I am so sorry about your friend and what you are going through.

I am so proud that you have reached out. This community is very supportive and we are in this together. You were able to take the hardest step, the first one. My heart breaks for what you went through and what you continue to go through.
